BRASILIA, July 23 (Reuters) - About 2,000 products exported by Brazil to ‌the United States will be ‌exempt from the new tariffs announced by ​the Donald Trump administration in recent days, including coffee and orange juice, Brazil's Trade and Industry Minister Marcio ‌Elias Rosa ⁠said on Thursday.

• Brazil was among the countries targeted ⁠on Thursday with a 12.5% tariff on its exports to the U.S., ​in a ​move related ​to forced labor.

• ‌Last week, the Trump administration had already announced a 25% tariff on several Brazilian products, citing unfair trade practices by the South American ‌country.

• Sectors such as ​footwear, and machinery ​and equipment ​will be subject to ‌both tariffs, while others ​including pulp ​will be levied only at 12.5%, Rosa told journalists in Brasilia.
